Just don't lump my fat butt with the Texans. I lived there for most of my life but I refused to join the club. Didn't even own a pickup the whole time I lived there!

Back in the olden days of the Southwest Conference, the Humble Network (Humble pretty much = Exxon) carried all of the football games. This was back so long ago that Rice had a good football team. Anyway, just before kickoff of one game featuring those nice Christian kids of SMU v. the nice Christian kids of Rice, the guy doing play by play says, "Let's go down to the field to listen to this big cheer from the Southern Methodist student body!"

So they did...

"What comes out of a Chinaman's @$$? Rice! Rice! Rice!"

Duly noted, bkbjones != Texan.

I personally don't think the oil/energy companies in the Gulf Coast are such a bad thing but then I did grow up with four refineries in my backyard.

whiskers, I'll be sure to touch bases with everyone when I touchdown.

Welpe, are you playing football now, since you are talking about touchdowns instead of touch downs? Dave

Had to jump in after this one. My old man spent some time at Cornell. Their favorite cheer was against the Ivy school from RI:

Careful when you speak ill of the Republic of Texas. Walker Texas Ranger doesn't take kindly to those who do not pay it enough respect and the last thing you want is to look over your shoulder and see Chuck Norris there.

If you have $5, and Chuck Norris has $5, Chuck Norris has more money than you.

Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird.

There is no CTRL button on Chuck Norris' computer. Chuck Norris is always in control.
